Discord Server Setup Checklist for PAX West and Seattle Gaming Groups
PAX West brings Seattle gaming energy into one long weekend. If your community is planning meetups, watch parties, tournaments, or post-event photo drops, your Discord server needs structure before everyone arrives.
Start with the channels people will need
- #announcements for official updates.
- #schedule for meetup times and tournament windows.
- #lfg for group-finding and casual sessions.
- #tickets for private staff questions.
- #media-drops for clips, photos, and recaps.
- #rules for behavior, safety, and event expectations.
Use roles so pings stay useful
Create roles for PAX West attendees, online members, tournament players, stream alerts, meetup reminders, staff, vendors, and content creators. Role pings keep the server useful instead of turning every announcement into a full-server siren.
Set moderation before traffic spikes
Use Trinix AI moderation, scam-link detection, account-age screening, and /setup_logger before the invite spreads. The best anti-spam setup is the one you configure while the server is still calm.
Ticket setup for event chaos
Tickets help with lost meetup details, team questions, vendor coordination, and private reports. Use ticket panels so staff can respond without turning public chat into a help desk.
Checklist before PAX week
- Publish rules and channel purpose.
- Set welcome instructions with
/setwelcome. - Create opt-in roles for events and alerts.

- Prepare tickets for private help.
- Make a media drop channel for photos and clips.
- Assign staff coverage for event hours.
Final thought
A good PAX West Discord should make event planning easier, not louder. Trinix gives Seattle gaming groups the moderation, logging, ticket, and alert tools to keep the weekend organized.
